God makes no leaders, He only makes servants … servants make leaders.
Wow...that's a powerful statement!
It's been ringing in my head for weeks now.
Here's another one...
in order to understand who is a leader and who is a servant,
one must follow the trail of authority.

Kate's Eight Year Old Pics
Many of you know that we have adopted several horses over the past year...I say adopted, really they belong to our pastor and his wife, but since they are rather busy at times we get to take care of them (the horses...not the pastors!)
Kate's responsibilities at the barn include haying, feeding, and watering the colts and yearling. She has become quite the cowgirl. In fact, with her birthday money she chose to buy a cowGIRL hat and RED boots (and I mean FIRE ENGINE RED!)
So we thought that it was only appropriate that since this is what she is really into right now, her eight year old pictures should reflect it.
Vote for your favorite...one, two, or three!
We will have copies made for anyone that wants one based on
the poll :) (Kate can't decide!)
My prayer: Dear God, Let Kate always enjoy the simple pleasures in life that will allow her to see your handywork up close. Let her find her place in whatever you've called her to be. ~Amen

Once again I am running like crazy trying to get my family in one place long enough to eat, chat for at least a minute each and then off again...this time to church. I hate it that life is so crazy that many times church feels more like an obligation than a service. I will address this issue later when I have more time...right now...I have to run. Ugh.
My prayer: God give me the wisdom to figure out some way that my family can slow down. We know how to make a living...We are versed at making a difference...but God I need a LIFE! I want to live life with my eyes wide open, not rushing so that it's mostly a blur. I miss my friends and their relationships, I miss my parents, I don't want Kate to grow up thinking this is normal.
God help me be creative in getting my family to stop...not even to smell the roses...just STOP!

I love my job...have I said that before? I really do!
It's cool to be able to do what you enjoy and get paid for it.
Even still, I do have dreams. Things I believe God will bring to pass at a future date.
Until recently I hadn't really spoken them aloud (kinda afraid if I said it they might not happen) but I realized that Jospeh had dreams...and he told people. Granted, not the RIGHT people, but he told someone. So I recently told my dreams to Darren (half afraid he might laugh, but he didn't!). He was very supportive, and even has begun to kinda push me into making them come true. It's a blessing to have a man of God for a husband.
I'm not quite ready to share them on the web for all to see...that day may come at some point...but not today :)
My prayer: God help me to tell the right people when you say so. Help me to not lose sight of them or get so focused on them that I don't realize that IF they come true it will be because You gave me the strength, gumption, and will-power to do them.
Until next time...Be blessed!
